I believe that the NC-140 also had that bandspread arrangement.

Right, you pull the bandspread knob out and turn it 180 degrees to change it
from sw to ham. It works real well. I have a 140. RM~

PS, also have a 160 and also feel that it's way over rated by some users.
Guess it's sort of like the old ford/chevy issue, depends on which one you
are driving as to which is best.
